The purpose of a premarket prep is to find setups within my weekly trade plan bias.
Non-conjecture observations of the market
D1 moved closer to D1 Supply ZOI 1.40962 and D1 QHi after moving over conterminous supply 1.40364 from the Bearish Engulfing
Not too convincing inside bar on H4, but enough room for it to move down if move continues
H1 Bearish Engulfing just below D1 Supply ZOI 1.40962 and D1 QHi followed by a consolidation (All during AS)
M30 KC turning range bound, no break from VWAP yet

Entry rules
Use TPO confirmation or invalidation for directional decisions by looking for
TPO extension with a sustained move (BO from IB)
TPO extension with failed auction (return to IB)
How this direction of TPO extension relates to Value Area open sentiment
09:00-10:30 – Time period for entry based on M30 and higher price action confirmation in conjunction with market profile and trade locations
10:30-12:00 – Entry can be based on lower time frame price action (but stops and further analysis on M30) at higher time frame trade locations with market profile and daily range
No staring at M5 chart
Trade needs to have a target that has the chance of hitting min. X2 R/R
